This movie, everyone has got to watch. I was looking around on iTunes for something to watch and stumbled across this and went with it but I really got almost addicted to it because that's what I do.

As you can see it's called "A Long Way Down" by Nick Hornsby. It got four protagonists which are played by Imogen Poots, Pierce Brosnan, Aaron Paul and Toni Collette. It is a british dark comedy movie which shows the story of them.

The movie is divided into four parts telling the story of each of the protagonists view whilst the story itself goes on and connects the main characters.

It starts on New Years when one of the four wants to jump off a building but gets interrupted by Toni Collette asking how long he is going to take because she also wants to commit suicide. They then get into talking and Imogen Poots character wildly comes in shortly followed by Aaron Paul. All of them want to end their lives in the same night but can't because well if you do it you do it alone so they make a pact to hold through until Valentines Day. The story then goes on the entire remaining 6 weeks until then showing what happens, if they change and in the end die or not.

I thought this story actually is really depressing but it turned out to be quite funny as well as true in some points, deals with actual mental illnesses and tries to show the viewer to understand why and what makes people commit suicide and what can be done to make those people change their minds and change. It is wonderfully made and I hope I could give you a good short view on it and also hope you watch it and love it as much as I do!
